Greens

Greens look good after aeration. They should heal up really fast and be great this fall. 

I'm just glad the fans are finally off. The golf course sounds quiet again.

Weather

It's been really nice to get a little break in the weather lately.  Lows have been in the mid to low 60's. This has been nice to help the greens recover a little. 

The temps look like they are going right back up. The never ending summer of 2016.

Greens

The greens look really healthy. There are a lot of courses throughout Virginia struggling with Turf loss right now. Wet, hot years like this is when we see the true payoff of the greens reconstruction in 2012. 

Even though the high temps have come down a little, we truly won't see a break until the night time lows come down a little. They are consistently in the mid to high 70's. Once these temps start coming down into the low 70's and high 60's we will start to step on the gas again with lower mowing heights, grooming, brushing and rolling.

Greens

The greens looked like complete crap yesterday after all that rain. To the point I didn't sleep very well last night. This morning they look 100% better. It's amazing what a little wind, air movement, North wind, and cooler temps can do.  I feel a lot better this morning. That's why we like it dry in the summer. We can control that water that way. You can put it down but you can't take it away.
